Hi, I want to ask if I could get a chance to work with space craft even if I study aerospace engineering with a focus of aeronautics and not astronautics.
I am studying Mechanical Engineering and planning to transfer to a 4 year college to study aerospace engineering. Thank you so much for doing this video. I am big fan of your channel by the way!
Aerospace engineering is such a fascinating field. But it's worth to note that if you're only interested in aerospace that doesn't determine that you need to go for aerospace engineering, because in spacecraft and aircraft there's as much electrical engineering and mechanical engineering as there is aerospace engineering so it depends on what you want to work on. For example if you want to design the antenna for a new Mars rover or design the command and data handling or power system of a satellite then electrical engineering could be right for you, if you want to design the suspension system or the wheels of a rover or design the structure of a rocket then mechanical engineering could be the right thing. I would say the main areas of aerospace engineering that are hard to do by mechanical or electrical engineers is GNC, trajectory design, aerodynamics, and astrodynamics, so if you like these things then aerospace engineering is right for you.
That is also why I want to do aerospace, specifically astronautics. I just love the mystery in space as well as the challenge of discovering new things.
Yupppp, exactly. Thanks for the comment. I ranked aerospace engineering as one of the few S Tier majors in the latest video, “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” ruclips.net/video/ghxBLeEX_OM/видео.html Let me know if this helps and what questions you have next okay? Thanks !!
@@anishavastar6979 there are two main branches of aerospace engineering. Obviously it would be pretty hard to go super broad and learn everything there, so specializing in one area is a good option. The two main parts of aerospace are avionics which is airplane engineering. Then there is astronautics which focuses on everything spacecraft related.
@@nickcave5947 thank you so much. But I am not sure when to specialize in astronautics. Is it is the four year (b tech)? I have already chosen aerospace engineering for b tech.
I just want to say that your videos are amazing and they have helped me a lot. I chose engineering because I really love applied math and physics. I was having a tough time choosing between Mechanical and Aerospace engineering but I eventually chose Aerospace because out of all the fields it was the only one that really interested me a lot. (All the other ME subfields didn't really interest me).
Thank you so much for that nice compliment. I saved it in my testimonial directory. And you seem to have made a great call in aerospace !! Let me know how I can help you next okay? Thanks !!
Great video!!!!, this is my last semester before I get my associates in engineering and hopefully I can transfer to Texas A&M and major in aerospace, I’m super excited!
Great goal! Thanks for commenting. Here are my other videos on AE, they may be helpful, “Aerospace Engineer Interview | How To Get A Job At Boeing | How To Get A Job At Lockheed Martin” ruclips.net/video/NuPAiaonLrQ/видео.html “What is Combustion Engineering? | Can Mechanical Engineers Become Aerospace Engineers?” ruclips.net/video/qnXpsjZcq0k/видео.html Let me know how else I can help you out okay? Cheers thanks I reply to everything
I completed my under graduation in aeronautical engineering with distinction. I want to pursue Masters in either the US or Canada. I was confused about whether to choose the aerospace stream or any other stream. Because of the lack of job opportunities in aerospace. Are there jobs for aerospace engineers, or most of them move to the job irrespective of their field?
Hey Jake, I want to be an Aerospace Engineer when I grow up. I am currently a Sophomore in high school. Are there any specific classes that really help people prepare for a future in engineering? (My high school has a large variety of subjects and classes I can take)
Good goal! If I were to redo everything I’d be an aerospace engineer. AE is a though engineering but you can do it. Especially w this awesome attitude. So take all the hardest classes. Maths chemistry physics etc. You need all those anyways in university. Also, if you can start learning more about aircraft and spacecraft, satellites and missiles, you’ll be in a good position later. Join a rocket club if you can. Otherwise, just get the best grades you can and pick the universities you want to apply to. You can get into AE by doing ME first as well. Here are my other AE videos: “Aerospace Engineer Interview | How To Get A Job At Boeing | How To Get A Job At Lockheed Martin” ruclips.net/video/NuPAiaonLrQ/видео.html “What is Combustion Engineering? | Can Mechanical Engineers Become Aerospace Engineers?” ruclips.net/video/qnXpsjZcq0k/видео.html I get a lot of “Aerospace vs Mechanical Engineering” questions. I support pure aerospace in some situations because there are a pretty good amount of jobs, 66,000 in the USA which puts it at #6 on the list. Especially if you live somewhere with solid AE industry or are willing to relocate, and you are in LOVE with the idea of working in AE for a career. Does this help? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything cheers thanks again
@@JakeVoorhees I'm currently a Sophomore in high school as well and my school follows the Cambridge curriculum and I'm planning to focus on doing higher math and Physics. I've always been fascinated by aircraft and spacecraft and I'm planning to go into Aerospace engineering at Uni. However, I'm really struggling with a lot of comments on how I should do ME inserted of AE because it has wider choices and more opportunities since it's not specialized like AE. And currently, I'm stuck and I don't who to ask cause everyone seems to be a bit biased. Is there any advice you can give me?
Have you noticed that sometimes engineering positions technically accept different engineering disciplines? I was looking at a Spacex engineering position(avionics I think) and they sometimes seemd to be willing to accept mechanical or aerospace, and some Spacex positions simply say "bachelors of science in an engineering discipline." Yet other positions specifically want comp sci or specifically electrical. I did notjce that aero/astro engineering has many mech eng classes(as they should) so I my main point is that some poaitions seem flexible in that they may take more than 1 concentration on engineering.
Yup 100% especially innovative companies like SpaceX who understand it’s the skills you have and not words on your degree that will lead to your success in the role. AE, ME, CPE, EE, and CS degrees can all work in aerospace. I have some other videos on AE as well. They could be helpful: “Aerospace Engineer Interview | How To Get A Job At Boeing | How To Get A Job At Lockheed Martin” ruclips.net/video/NuPAiaonLrQ/видео.html “What is Combustion Engineering? | Can Mechanical Engineers Become Aerospace Engineers?” ruclips.net/video/qnXpsjZcq0k/видео.html Let me know if you have any follow up questions okay? Cheers thanks !
@@JakeVoorhees Western Michigan University does allow some aero classes as electives for the mech eng majors. I may consider school there but gotta get the math prereqs and all done first.
Yup okay good idea. As long as AeroE courses exist at the same university, MEs should be able to take them. Plus, you can intern in an AE direction, network with them, do research and other projects around AE, start or join a rocket club, etc. Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers!
Question, is it possible for a Mechanical engineer who working the aeronautical/aerospace industry to design fuselage or even structure I have a deep passion for aircrafts and maybe race cars which one would be better?
I’m an EE interested in doing my PhD in aerospace. Specifically the design of control systems. I would like to hear any suggestions you have. Keep up the good work,
Thanks Adam, my view on a PhD is to first think of goals. Why do you want a PhD? It doesn't always amplify your career. If you want to be a full time researcher or in academia or a professor, sure, get it. But if you want to work for corporate, you may be over educated and over qualified, and some employers do not want to see PhD because you may expect a higher salary. There are some elite industry jobs that require a PhD, but there are far more rare. Finally, I see that many students are still choosing their undergraduate path when asking questions about a PhD. You should never be considering that until you are at least half way or probably more than half way finished undergrad. You have no idea about an industry until you actually show up on the job, so even for a MS in Engineering, I suggest working right after university, figuring out your passion lane, and then you go back to grad school. Does that make sense? Hope it helped, thanks!
Here in Spain the average mech engineer salary is ~24000€-30000€ depending on experience-and being lucky enough to be hired for some important company or else you’ll get a job as a “technician “ or just no job at all (me right now)
I got to another one of your comments, and yes it’s pretty flexible. You will probably end up working with flying things regardless, because why not? Plus, AEs are more valued and paid more than any other type of engineer besides petroleum lol so you’ll want to stick with things in the air :)
hello! i am currently a junior in high school and have been interested in aerospace engineering since i was in elementary school. My dream job would be an astronaut and i was wondering if an aerospace engineering degree would be suitable to apply for that job. I have also been considering mechanical and civil engineering but i’m finding it hard to narrow it down. thanks!
Hey thanks for the comment. Yes astronauts can go through the AE path. Many get a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (combined focus, not two PhDs). As for becoming an astronaut, here is more info - I get a lot of questions about becoming an astronaut.I tread lightly on these responses, because I know how hard it is to become one. I think it is a fantastic goal. I think most people who end up being an astronaut once were just like you. They had the dream. They worked really hard to become one. And then eventually they got selected. Is there a little luck involved? Maybe. Either way, here is what I think is important when thinking of becoming an astronaut. First, I think it is really important to understand how difficult and competitive it really is to become an astronaut. When you understand this, secondly you realize that everyone that became an astronaut was working on other things as well, and was incredibly successful even before they were selected to become an astronaut. Such that if they were never selected, then that would have been okay. They were already a successful professor or engineer or scientist and their career would have been just as great without the astronaut selection. Because for all of the very few people to have ever been selected, there were far more people who were probably just as good. They just did not get selected for whatever reason, and they had a great career anyways. With that being said, here are the facts about becoming an astronaut. There have only been 22 USA groups of astronauts added since Group 1 in 1959 which took the original seven astronauts. Including 37 other countries, only about 560 people in total have been trained as astronauts, ever in the entire world.The most recent Group 22, selected in 2017, had a record number of 18,300 applicants and they chose just 12 people. That's a 0.06% acceptance rate. Here is a list of things that are easier to do than become an astronaut: Win an Oscar (3,140 total winners) Become a Brain Surgeon (3,700 in US) Summit Mount Everest (5,000) Become an Olympian (2016 games, 11,237) Hold a Guinness World Record (40,000) So I think it is a fantastic goal. But all of these people who have reached astronaut status certainly were working on other things in their life and career, and they just happened to make it. So it's fine to want to become an astronaut. But what else can you be working on along the way and if an astronaut happens, great. Otherwise, what is Plan A.1? I think yours is to become a great aerospace engineer while you work on your astronaut goal :) I hope these help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to all comments. Cheers!
